A rare combination of personal diary and travelogue, “New View, New Eyes” traces the filmmaker’s efforts to carve out her own identity, as she makes her first visit to her father’s homeland of India. The journey is an uncomfortable one, as she struggles with “western” preconceptions of India – poverty, beggars, disease – and realizes that she herself has come there as a stranger.
